{{Redirect category shell|1=
A '''double boiler''' is a stove top apparatus used to cook delicate sauces
{{R from merge}}
such as [[beurre blanc]] or to melt [[chocolate]] without burning or seizing. It consists of an upper vessel containing the substance to be cooked which is situated above a lower pot of water. When brought to a boil, the steam released in the lower pot provides heat against the bottom of the upper one. The upper vessel must fit over tightly, or else the steam escapes and the cooking substance may come in contact with the water or steam which is undesired in most recipe by double boiling.
